PREFATORY  NOTE 

This  little  volume  is  intended  to  furnish  a  guide  to  the 
bibliographic  material  on  international  law  and  continental 
law.  The  growing  interest  in  these  branches  of  law  has  made 
it  seem  desirable  to  present  the  bibliographies  on  the  subject 
in  such  form  that  librarians  and  investigators  may  be  aided 
in  locating  relevant  literature.  Bibliographies  of  Roman  law, 
prior  to  Justinian's  codification,  have  been  omitted.  This 
early  literature  of  the  Roman  law  is  fully  discussed  in  his- 
(nI  tories  of  the  sources  and  literature  of  Roman  law,  such  as 

^  those  by  Kipp,  Conrat,  Kriiger,  and  E.  C.  Clark,  and  in  works 

\  on  PiDuLktenrcihl  Hke  those  by  Vangerow  and  Windscheid. 

The  literature  of  the  civil  law  after  the  fall  of  the  Western 
Roman  F)mpire  in  476  is  noted  in  the  bibliographies  of  the 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries,  which  were  the  first  of 
any  importance.  In  discussing  the  bibliographies  of  modern 
ri  continental  law  the  general  legal  bibliographies  dealing  with 
(he  Continent  as  a  whole  have  been  first  mentioned,  followed 
then  by  national  bibliographies  of  the  autonomous  countries 
of  PyUrope.  The  method  of  treatment  has  been  to  discuss 
critically  the  bibliographic  material  available,  taking  up  first 
bibliographies  in  the  form  of  independent  books;  secondl\-, 
treatises  in  which  bibliography  is  a  prominent  feature;  thirdly, 
l>ibliographic  information  tf)  be  found  in  periodicals;  fourthly, 
catalogues  of  law  libraries,  jurists,  or  publishers,  having  bibli- 
ographic value;  and,  lastly,  bibliographies  on  special  subjects. 
In  the  matter  of  capitalization  in  the  titles  of  hooks  the 
A.  L.  A.  catalogue  rules  have  been  followed.

INTRODUCTION 

The  interest  awakened  in  this  country  within  the  last  few 
years  in  the  study  of  international  law,  comparative  law, 
and  jurisprudence  indicates  that  our  law  is  in  a  new  period  of 
development. 

The  calling  of  the  First  Hague  Conference  in  1899  inaugu- 
rated a  new  period  in  the  development  of  international  law. 
At  that  conference,  as  also  at  the  Hague  Conference  of  1907, 
and  at  the  London  Naval  Conference  of  1908,  definite  rules  were 
established  to  regulate  many  of  the  more  perplexing  situa- 
tions and  legal  relations  created  by  modern  international 
intercourse,  both  in  time  of  peace  and  of  war.  Besides  these 
important  events,  the  numerous  conferences  on  private  inter- 
national law,  both  in  Europe  and  on  the  American  Continent; 
the  many  congresses  on  special  branches  of  the  law,  such  as 
on  maritime  law,  bills  of  exchange,  copyright  and  patents;  and 
the  adoption  of  methods  to  remove  causes  of  international 
conflict  and  peaceably  to  settle  difTerences — with  the  conse- 
quent growth  in  the  i^eace  movement — have  all  heljied  to 
create  a  new  interest  in  the  study  of  international  law,  both 
as  a  bc)dy  of  legal  rules  and  as  a  science.  Tlie  efforts  of  na- 
tions and  the  labors  of  organizations  like  the  Carnegie  Kndow- 
ment  for  Intemational  Peace,  the  Institute  of  International 
Law,  the  International  Law  Association,  and  the  American 
Society  of  International  Law,  together  with  (he  proposed 
Academy  of  International  Law  at  The  Hague,  can  only  stimu- 
late a  more  intensive  study  of  international  law.

S  INTRODUCTION 

In  \\\c  I'lekl  of  conlincntal  law  evidence  is  to  be  found  on 
all  sicks  of  a  renewed  interest  in  its  history  and  modern 
development.  It  is  hardly  necessary  to  point  out  that  the 
constant  increase  of  intercourse  of  individuals  and  corpora- 
tions with  foreign  countries  has  brought  the  rules  of  positive 
law  in  those  countries  within  the  scope  of  the  practising 
lawvcr.  Publications  such  as  the  26-volume  work  "The 
Commercial  Laws  of  the  World,"  Kohler  and  Mintz's  "Patent 
L'aws  of  the  World,"  and  the  Guides  to  foreign  law  published 
by  the  Library  of  Congress  are  created  in  response  to  the  need 
for  a  practical  knowledge  of  foreign  law,  first  felt  in  the  field 
of  commerce. 

Again,  in  social  science  recent  years  indicate  a  fruitful 
emancipation  from  our  insularity.  Never  before  has  there 
been  manifest  such  a  live  interest  in  the  legislative  methods 
adopted  by  foreign  countries  to  solve  the  social,  indus- 
trial, and  economic  problems  of  the  day.  The  investi- 
gations of  the  ^Monetary  Commission;  the  study  of  foreign 
labor  legislation  conducted  by  the  United  States  Bureau  of 
Labor,  and  the  American  Association  for  Labor  Legislation, 
and  the  practical  use  made  of  this  research  both  in  our  national 
and  state  legislatures;  the  recent  recommendation  of  the 
President  fr>r  the  adoption  of  a  system  of  cooperative  credit 
facilities,  analogous  to  that  of  Germany,  for  those  engaged  in 
agriculture;  the  work  of  the  comparative  law  bureau  of  the 
American  Bar  Association;  the  organization  of  the  Institute 
of  Criminal  Law  and  Criminology,  and  the  translations  of 
leading  European  works  on  penology  and  criminology  into  the 
English  language— all  these  are  distinct  phenomena,  a  few 
among  many,  indicating  the  extent  to  which  foreign  law  and 
experience  are  becoming  the  subject  of  study. 


INTRODUCTION  9 

Finally,  our  legal  education  is  making  strides  hitherto 
unknown.  Beginning  with  the  pioneer  work  of  a  few  jurists, 
the  realization  of  our  educational  deficiencies  in  law  has 
spread  through  the  entire  profession.  Until  recent  years  our 
law  has  been  treated  as  an  isolated  body  of  rules,  often  re- 
moved from  the  experience  of  the  past  and  again  often  im- 
pressed with  archaic  interpretations  which  ignored  modern 
needs  and  the  experience  of  other  countries.  The  Association 
of  American  Law  Schools  has  contributed  greatly  to  bridge 
the  gap  between  the  past  and  the  present  by  publishing 
the  "Select  essays  in  Anglo-American  legal  history"  and  now 
"The  continental  legal  history  series."  For  the  first  time  the 
Anglo-American  lawyer  is  enabled  to  examine  the  whole  tree 
of  legal  knowledge — its  roots  in  Roman  and  Germanic  law, 
its  growth  beiore  independent  branches  (like  the  .\nglo-Saxon) 
left  the  main  trunk,  and  the  relation  of  the  various  branches 
to  one  another.  The  study  of  our  present  problems  of  super- 
fluous technicalities  in  procedure,  and  of  the  application  of 
mechanical  rules  and  outworn  conceptions  to  changing  soci.-il 
conditions,  will,  in  the  light  of  a  past  history  in  which  I  he- 
same  phenomena  have  occurred,  offer  experience  and  give 
promise  for  their  satisfactory  solution  in  the  future.  The 
recognition  of  tin-  aim  and  utility  of  law  as  a  vital  inslrunKiit 
f;ishioned  to  meet  social  ends  and  as  a  regulative  agencv  in 
the  adjustment  of  individual  interests  finds  us  again  turning 
to  continental  lutrope,  where  the  history  of  legal  thought 
through  the  vicissitudes  of  its  various  schools — the  natural, 
the  liistf)rical,  the  philosophical  (in  its  various  branches),  and, 
finally,  the  sociological — helps  us  in  arriving  at  a  sound  phi- 
losophy of  law.  Here  again  the  last  year  or  two  has  given  us 
Pound's  valuable  contribution  The  scof>c  ami  fyurfyow  of  socin- 
Icgical  jurisprudence  and  the  early  volumes  in  the  "Modern 


lO  INTRODUCtlON 

legal  philosophy  series,"  whose  object  is  to  place  within  the 
horizon  of  the  American  student  and  lawyer  the  history  and 
development  of  juristic  thought  and  the  relation  between  law 
and  social,  economic,  and  industrial  needs. 

This  brief  survey  of  recent  events  will  show  the  wide  range 
\vithin  which  foreign  legal  institutions  and  conditions  interiest 
the  American  lawyer,  legislator,  and  scholar.  To  place  the 
literature  of  this  vast  field  both  in  its  history  and  in  its 
modern  development  more  systematically  before  the  investi- 
gator, this  guide  to  the  first  necessary  step  in  scientific 
stud} ,  the  mastery  of  bibliography,  has  been  jjrepared.

LAW  AND  CONTINENTAL  LAW 


INTERNATIONAL  LAW 

Bibliographies  of  iiittrtuiliDiial  law  are  not  many  in  niuiiher. 
Bibliographie  informalion  on  the  subject  is  to  be  obtained 
largely  in  certain  sections  of  the  inijiortant  treatises  on  inter- 
national law  and  in  the  periodical  literature.  A  few  biblio- 
graphic works  were  published  in  the  eighteenth  century;  the 
majority  of  them  are  of  little  value  and  will  be  referred  to 
but  briefly.  These  works  are:  The  general  bibliography  of 
Groeninq,^  published  in  1701;  the  bibliography  of  the  dis- 
sertations and  other  literature  on  the  subject,  appended 
to  Glafey's-  VoUstdndige  Geschichte  des  Rechis  dcr  Vcrniinfjt 
(1739);  tlie  three  \-olumes  of  Mcisiers^  collection  (1749); 
the  handbook  for  diplomatic  olliccrs  of  Romcr,^  the  first  part 
.of  which  contains  a  compilation  of  the  literature  of  interna-

By  all  means  the  most  important  bibliography  of  the 
eighteenth  century  is  the  work  of  Ompteda,^  published  in 
1785,  which  deals  with  all  the  early  material  and  discusses 
it  with  descriptive  detail  and  frequently  with  critical  evalu- 
ation. This  work  was  continued  by  the  supplementary 
volume  of  C.  A.  von  Kampiz,-  published  in  181 7,  which 
discusses  the  literature  appearing  from  1784  to  the  date  of 
publication.  Ompteda's  subject  classification  and  divisions  are 
maintained  in  von  Kamptz's  work. 

In  1885  Prof.  Alphonse  Rivier^  published  a  critical  bibh-_.. 
ography  of  the  literature  on  international  law  antedating 
Grotius's  epoch-making  work  on  the  law  of  w^ar  and  peace 
(1625).  Rivier  also  prepared  a  critical  bibliography  of  the 
literature  after  that  period,  and  pubhshed  it  in  the  intro- 
ductory volume  of  Holtzendorff's  Hamibuch  {infra,  p.  15). 
The  early  literature  of  international  law  was  Ukewise  dis- 
ctisscd  bv  S.  Gemma  '  in  a  monograph  published  in  Italy  in  —

INTERNATIONAL  LAW  1 5 

Renault's '  introduction  to  international  law,  published  in 
1879,  contains  at  pages  55-80  a  critical  bibliography.  This 
work,  incidentally,  while  not  used  to  any  degree  in  this 
country  or  at  the  present  time,  is  one  of  the  best  introductory 
treatises  published.  lloHzendorjj's  ■  and  Rivicr's  well-known 
introduction  to  international  law,  published  both  in  German 
and  French  editions  in  1888  and  1889,  respectively,  contains 
a  bibliographic  sketch,  "  Esquisse  d'unc  histoire  litterairc  des 
systemes  et  methodcs  du  droit  des  gens,"  which  is  important, 
particularly  for  the  documentary  material  Usted.  This  book

Ernest  Nvs  in  his  various  writings  lays  special  stress  on 
biography  and  bibliography.  In  Chapter  ix,  Volume  i  (pp. 
213-328)  of  his  Le  droit  international,^  he  deals  chronolog- 
ically with  the  authors  of  international  law  and  their  works, 
commencing  with  the  precursors  of  Grotius  and  coming 
down  to  the  present  day.  A  somewhat  similar  method  of 
treatment  for  the  American  names  identified  with  interna- 
tional law  is  followed  in  his  Les  Etats-Unis  el  le  droit  dcs 
yens-  (pp.  146-161).  In  the  field  of  American  diplomatic 
history,  attention  may  be  called  to  the  "brief  bibliography 
of  American  diplomacy"  contained  in  Chapter  VIII  (pp. 
241-293)  of  Albert  Bushnell  Hart's  Foundations  of  Ameri-can 
foreign  policy.^ 

Among  recent  works,  Fleischmann' s  *  source  book  of 
international  law,  containing  the  important  international 
treaties,  agreements,  protocols,  and  other  documents,  is  useful 
for  bibliographic  purposes  in  that  each  document  is  accom- 
panied by  references  to  relevant  literature  in  which  the 
document  is  discussed. 

Weiss's  ^  well-known  treatise  on  private  international  law, 
in  five  volumes,  of  v/hich  the  second  edition  began  publication 
in  1907,  contains  considerable  bibliographic  information  at 
the  beginning  of  each  subject  discussed — for  example,  "nation- 
ality," "aliens,"  etc.

INTERNATIONAL    LAW  17 

Three  popular  manuals  of  international  law,  new  editions 
of  which  have  appeared  within  the  last  year  or  two,  are  those 
by  BonfiJs,^  Despagmt,-  and  Oppenheim.-^  Each  of  these 
works  contains  select  bibliographies  at  the  head  of  its  chapter 
divisions.  The  select  bibliographies  at  the  end  of  each  chap- 
ter and  the  long  list  of  authorities  cited  in  Amos  vS.  Hershey's  * 
Essentials  of  international  public  law  (1912)  are  useful  addi- 
tions to  the  bibliographic  literature  of  the  subject. 

The  bibliographic  references  in  the  syllabus  printed  at  the 
head  of  Scott's  Case';  on  international  laxv''  are  of  value. 

The  printed  cards  for  the  complete  collection  of  the  books 
on  international  law  and  diplomacy  in  the  Library  of  Congress 
can  now  be  obtained  from  the  Library.  They  constitute  one 
of  the  best  sources  of  bibliographic  information,  although  the 
collection  is  somewhat  weak  in  seventeenth  and  eighteenth 
century  material. 

The  most  important  source  of  bibliographic  information  on 
international  law  within  the  last  25  years  has  been  periodical 
literature,  of  which  there  is  now  a  not  inconsiderable  quantity. 
One  of  the  best  modern  contributors  to  this  form  of  literature, 
both  on  its  technical  and  its  bibliographic  side,  was  the  late 
Professor  Felix  vStoerk,  of  Greifswald.  In  1883  Professor 
Stoerk  contributed  an  article  on   the  bibliography  of  intcr-

In  1895  he  prepared  a  similar  comprehensive  survey  of  the 
literature  of  international  law  published  during  the  years 
1884  to  1894  (40  pages).  This  monograph  appeared  as  part 
of  the  book  called  Juristischer  Litter aturbericht  1884-1894, 
which  was  published  as  a  supplement  to  Kirchenheim' s  Cen- 
tralhlatt  fiir  Rechiswissenschaft.  It  is  exhaustive  and  one  of  the 
most  valuable  contributions  to  the  bibliography  of  the  subject. 

In  1905  a  notable  undertaking  in  international  legal  bib- 
liography was  the  publication  of  the  four  volumes  of  the 
Tables  generates  du  Journal  dti  droit  international  prive, 
edited  by  Clunet  (Paris,  Marchal  &  Godde).  The  work  is 
not  merely  an  index  to  the  volum.es  of  the  Journal,  which 
began  publication  in  1874,  but  the  work  includes  classi- 
fied lists  of  most  of  the  important  books  published  since 
that  time.  The  Journal,  by  the  publication  annually  of  an 
extensive  systematic  bibliography,  keeps  the  Tables  up  to 
date.  The  material  in  the  Tables  generales  is  arranged  chrono- 
logically, alphabetically,  by  titles  of  articles,  by  authors, 
systematically,  and  in  other  forms.  The  first  volume  contains 
about  10,000  titles  on  the  literature  of  international  law; 
volume  tv\^o  contains  lists  of  treaties  and  an  exhaustive  index 
to  the  treaties  of  France  with  other  countries  on  all  subjects; 
volumes  three  and  four  consist  of  an  analytical  bibliography, 
by  subject  matter,  of  the  whole  field  of  international  law. 

Professor  Bulmerincq,  of  Heidelberg,  contributed  an  annual 
report  on  recent  international  literature  to  Schmoller's  Jahr-

tute of  International  Law,  published  as  the  Annuaire  dc 
VInsiUui  de  droU  inter naiional  from  1887  on,  include  annually, 
under  the  title  Reperiuirc  vu'ihodiqiic,  an  index  of  the  principal 
works  and  periodical  articles  on  private  and  public  inter- 
national law.  The  Nauvelle  revue  historique  de  droit  franQais  .  .  . 
published  since  1877  (Paris,  L.  Larose),  prints  in  its 
annual  Bulletin  hiblioqraphiquc  a  somewhat  incomplete  bib- 
liographN-  on  international  law.  The  same  incompleteness 
may  be  noted  in  the  case  of  the  Revue  du  droit  public  et  de  la 
science  polilique  (Paris,  Giard  &  Briere,  1884  et  seq.),  which 
contains  short  bibliographies  of  the  principal  works  pub- 
lished during  the  year  on  constitutional,  international,  and 
administrative  law.  'ilie  Revue  generale  dc  droit  intcrnationnt 
public  (Paris,  Pcdone),  published  since  1894,  undertook  in 
two  or  three  different  years — for  example,  1904  and  1906 — 
to  publish  a  general  bibliography  of  puljlic  international  law; 
it  included  books  and  periodicals,  but  was  not  divided  ac- 
cording to  subject  matter — authors  and  titles  of  books  and 
articles,  countries,  and  subjects  being  listed  in  one  alphabet. 
Up  to  1903  the  editors  of  this  periodical  also  published  a  sur- 
vey of  the  contents  of  the  more  imjxirtant  periodicals  dealing 
with  international  relations. 

Among  the  best  of  the  current  bibliographic  sources  of 
international  legal  literature  is  the  Revue  de  droit  international 
prirl'-,  founded  by  Darras  (Paris,  Larose  &  Tenin,  1905  et  seq.), 
and  edited  since  his  deatli  by  Professor  de  Lapradelle.  It 
pul)lishes  yearly  an  extensive  systematic  bibliography  of 
international  law  which,  while  intended  to  be  limited  to  private 
international  law,  has  incor])orated  in  the  section  known  as 
"general  works"  i)raclicall\  all  the  important  treatises  on 
public  international  law  as  well.  Us  classification  is  thai  usu-

international  law  periodicals;  otherwise  its  general  bibUo- 
o-raphic  information  is  not  important.  The  Revue  d'histoire 
diplomatique  (Paris,  E.  Leroux),  pubHshed  since  1887,  con- 
tained in  each  number  a  bibliographic  bulletin  of  the  books 
and  articles  on  international  lavv^  and  diplomacy,  arranged 
by  country;  this  bibliographic  feature  of  the  publication 
ceased,  however,  in  1898.  The  Jahrhuch  fUr  den  inter na-

extensive  bibliography  covering  the  years  1910-11. 

Some  of  the  American  literature  may  be  noted  as  more  or 
less  reliable  sources  for  current  international  law  bibliography. 
Jones's  Index  to  legal  periodicals,  of  which  two  volumes  ap- 
peared in  1887  and  1899,  respectively,  will  be  brought  down  to 
1909  by  the  early  publication  of  the  third  volume  (Boston, 
Boston  Book  Company);  it  indexes  the  American  and  Eng- 
lish periodical  articles  on  international  law  under  their  spe- 
cific subjects.  The  Law  library  journal  and  index  to  legal 
periodicals,  published  by  the  Association  of  American  Law 
Libraries  (Chicago),  which  has  been  issued  since  1908,  indexes 
the  American  and  English  periodical  articles  under  the  gen- 
eral heading  "International  law."  The  Bibliography  of  legal

INTERNATIONAL   LAW  21 

in  January,  1910;  the  American  edition  in  January,  191 1) 
gives  descriptive  notes  of  current  articles,  English  and  foreign, 
on  the  subject.  The  American  journal  of  international  law 
(New  York,  Baker,  Voorhis  &  Co..  1907  et  seq.)  has  a  few 
pages  in  each  number  listing  recent  periodical  articles,  English 
and  foreign,  on  the  subject.  One  feature  of  this  journal  is  a 
section  devoted  to  public  documents  relating  to  international 
law,  which  includes  official  publications  of  all  countries.  The 
American  political  science  review  (Baltimore,  Johns  Hopkins 
University),  published  since  1907,  includes  among  its  bibliog- 
raphies in  each  number  a  section  devoted  to  international 
law,  both  in  the  form  of  books  and  periodical  articles.  The 
Law  viagazin<:  and  review  publishes  from  time  to  time  lists  of 
recent  books  on  international  law,  prepared  during  the  last 
few  years  by  Thomas  Baty.  The  Association  for  international 
conciliation,  whose  headquarters  are  at  Columbia  University, 
New  York,  has  since  April,  1908,  published  a  monthly  bulletin 
of  books,  pamphlets,  and  magazine  articles  dealing  with  inter- 
national relations. 

A  number  of  special  bibliographies  deserve  mention.  The 
three-hundredth  anniversary  of  the  birth  of  Grotius,  who  is 
popularly  considered  the  father  of  international  law,  was  the 
occiision  for  the  ])ublication  by  Rotujc  '  of  a  descriptive  bibli-

may  be  made  of  the  following  publications:  A  catalogue  of 
the  works  on  peace  and  international  law  in  the  Nobel  Insti- 
tute, of  which  volume  one,  covering  peace,  has  already  been 
issued;  a  catalogue  of  the  works  on  war  and  peace  in  the 
International  Peace  Bureau  at  Berne,  covering  22  pages;  and 
a  supplement  to  the  191 1  volume  of  the  Resolutions  of  the 
Council  of  the  Interparliamentary  Union,  consisting  of  15 
Images  of  bibliography  dealing  especially  with  the  publications 
of  the  branches  of  the  Interparliamentary  Union.  Nor 
should  we  fail  to  mention  the  Annuaire  de  la  vie  inter natiGnale , 
founded  bv  A.  H.  Fried,  the  noted  pacificist.  This  work  is 
published  by  the  Institiit  international  de  la  paix  at  Monaco 
(1905  et  seq.).  The  first  edition  of  Fried's  Handhuch  dcr 
Friedensbewegung  (Wien  &  Leipzig,  Reichenbach,  .  .  .  1905), 
contained  a  ten-page  bibliography  (pp.  434-443),  Only  vol- 
ume one  of  the  second  edition  of  this  work  (191 1)  has  thus  far 
been  issued;  in  volume  two,  the  bibliography  presented  in  the 
first  edition  will  undoubtedly  take  account  of  the  growth  in 
the  literature  on  peace.  A  small  bibliography  of  1,000  news- 
paper articles  written  by  A.  H.  Fried,'  was  published  in 
1908  by  the  Fricdens-Warte  in\'ienna.  Senator  La  Fontaine, 
of  Brussels,  is  to  take  a  prominent  part  in  the  publication  of 
bibliographies  issued  under  the  auspices  of  the  Carnegie 
Endowment  for  International  Peace.  Bibliographies  on  the 
effect  of  war  on  economics  are  now  in  preparation  and  will  be 
followed  probably  by  others.  The  Institute  of  International 
Law,  in  connection  with  the  new  Academy  of  International 
Law  established  at  The  Hague,  will  probably  also  undertake 
the  publication  of  a  bibliography  of  international  law.

There  are  a  few  catalogues  and  publisher's  lists  which 
constitute  bibliographic  sources  of  value.  The  most  impor- 
tant of  these  is  the  Bibliographic  dii  droit  international  com- 
piled bv  Marquis  de  Olivart '  of  Madrid,  which  professes 
to  be  a  catalogue  of  his  own  collection.  This  collection  has 
now  come  to  Harvard  University.  We  may  note  in  passing 
that  it  consists  very  largely  of  literature  on  political  science. 
The  Department  of  Slate  has  at  various  times  published 
catalogues-  of  the  works  in  the  library  of  that  department. 
From  1892  to  1902  this  department  published  semi-annually 
a  List  of  books,  pamphlets,  and  maps  received  at  tlie  library  ^ 
by  purchase,  exchange,  and  gift,  with  references  also  to  arti- 
cles in  periodicals  relating  to  the  law  of  nations,  diplomacy, 
history,  and  political  science,  supplemented  by  a  list  of  peri- 
odicals and  newspapers  received. 

Martinus  Xijhofi"  at  the  Hague  is  one  of  the  most  active 
publishers  in  the  field  of  comparative  and  international  law. 
On  the  occasion  of  the  meeting  of  the  Second  Peace  Confer- 
ence at  the  Hague,  in  1907,  Nijhoff  published  a  catalogue  of 
the  principal  works  on  public  international  law,  in  fift)-two

what lessened  by  the  fact  that  the  place  of  publication  and

another  catalogue  of  international  law,  which  contains  much 
of  the  more  valuable  material  in  this  field. 


CONTINENTAL    LAW 

In  the  seventeenth  and  eighteentli  centuries  legal  bibli- 
ographies dealt  with  the  le.s^^al  literature  of  Europe  in 
general  and  were  not  conluied  to  any  particular  country; 
only  with  the  political  demarcations  which  took  place  after 
the  Congress  of  Vienna  is  there  any  real  national  division  in 
legal  bibliographies  apparent.  As  late  as  1850,  however,  the 
publication  of  general  bibliographies  on  the  law  of  all  Europe 
was  still  frequent.  In  general,  the  authorship  of  these  bibli- 
ographic i)ublications  has  been  confined  to  the  Germans  and 
the  French,  with  the  Germans  always  predominating.  In  the 
following  sketch  we  shall  consider  first  the  general  legal  bibli- 
ographies, in  their  chronological  order,  taking  up  later  those 
dealing  with  the  national  legal  literature  of  the  different  coun- 
tries of  Europe. 

i'he  earUesl  mcjdern  bibliographer  of  any  note  was  Konrad 
(Vesner  (1516-1565).  His  Bihliothcca  universalis,^  which  was 
first  published  in  1545,  has  a  division  devoted  to  law.  It  is 
a  good  source  of  information  for  the  legal  literature  of  the 
middle  ages.  Supplemenis  and  later  editions  a])peared  uj)  lo 
1585.  i'lie  next  bibliographic  i)nblication  of  any  interest  in 
law   was  Zilettvs  -  index  of  all   the  books  of    law.     It   first

CONTINENTAL   LAW  29 

Undoubtedly  the  most  important  of  these  early  bibliog- 
raphies of  law  is  the  classic  Lipenius,^  the  first  edition  of 
which  ajDpeared  in  1679.  The  work  was  brought  down  as  far 
as  1823  ])y  later  editors,  who  increased  considerably  the  size 
of  the  work  and  continued  it  by  the  publication  of  supple- 
ments. It  is  often  incomplete  in  its  bibliographical  informa- 
tion, but  nevertheless  is  considered  the  best  bibliography  on 
early  continental  law.  The  work  of  Georg  Beyer  -  deserves 
special  mention  because  he  was  the  first  professor,  1698,  to 
give  a  course  on  the  bibliography  of  law;  the  book  first 
appeared  in  1726,  continuations  being  brought  out  by  Jenichen 
in  1738,  by  Hommel  in  1749  and  1750,  and  by  Frank  in  1758. 
In  1725  G.  Slevogt^  published  a  similar  critical  bibliography 
of  rare  books  in  law.  Striivius,*  a  professor  of  law  at  Jena, 
is  the  author  of  a  work  which  has  retained  its  value  to  the

Ersch's  Handbuch  der  deiitschen  Likratur. 

In  1837  Kapplcr,^  who  is  perhaps  most  celebrated  for  his 
bibliography  on  criminal  law,  issued  an  index  of  the  vari-

iiiuclcenth  century  is  the  work  of  Slepj,^  in  four  volumes;  it 
is  arranged  alphabetically,  but  unfortunately  was  not  carried 
anv  further  than  the  letter  "K"  in  the  alphabet. 

Several  abortive  attempts  were  made  in  the  first  years  of 
the  nineteenth  century  to  publish  legal  bibliographic  period- 
icals, but  after  a  very  brief  existence  they  ceased  publication. 
Three  such  publications  which  we  may  here  note  are  the 
AUqemeines  Literatur-Repertorium  ,^  the  Juristische  Literatiir- 
zeitung,^  and  the  Kritisches  Archiv.^ 

Among  the  more  modern  general  bibliographies  we  may 
mention  Teichmann's'"  bibliographic  survey  of  Roman,  Ger- 
man, French,  and  English  law,  which  appeared  in  1878.  While 
essentially  a  vSpanish  bibliograph}^  we  should  not  overlook 
Torres  Campos'  '^  studies  on  Spanish  and  foreign  bibliography 
of  law,  which  was  the  first  modern  bibliography  of  its  kind 
published  in  Europe.  It  was  rewarded  with  the  gold  medal 
of  the  Acadcmia  Matritense  del  Notariado;  it  includes  general 
bibliographies,  and  special  legal  bibliographies,  and  then  is 
divided  both  by  subject  and  by  country  within  the  subject.

bibliographies  of  law,  which  is  probably  the  most  complete  of 
its  kind;  a  considerable  part  of  the  book  is  devoted  to  general 
bibliographies,  and  the  special  legal  portion  is  divided  both  bv 
country  and  by  subject. 

Petzholdt's  '  Bibliotlieca  bibliographica,  still  the  standard 
work  for  the  field  covered  by  it,  contains  two  fairlv  ex- 
tensive chapters  devoted  to  the  bibliographic  literature  of 
law  and  political  science.  Leon  A'allee's  Biblioqrnphic  dcs 
bibliographies  (Paris,  1887)  is  much  inferior  to  Henri 
Stein's-  Manual  de  bibliographie  generate.  The  legal  bibli- 
ographies mentioned  in  the  latter  are  listed  by  country  and 
subject  and  are  accompanied  frequenth'  by  critical  notes. 
Its  lists  are  by  no  means  complete.  Courtney's''  Register  oj 
national  bibliography  devotes  a  few  pages  to  law,  but  the  list  of 
bibliographies  is  very  meager.  La  Fontaine's  ^  Bibliographia 
sociologica,  published  in  1895  by  the  International  Institute  of 
Bibliography  at  Brussels,  contains  a  separate  section  devoted 
lo  law. 

The  most  important  bibliographic  sources  of  modern  legal 
literature  are  certain  periodicals.  The  most  valuable  of  these 
is  Kirclu'iiheim's  Ccnlralblatl  jiir  Rcchiswisscnschajt,  which 
Ixrgan  its  publication  in  1881  (Stuttgart,  Knke)  and  ceased  its 
lalx>rs  in  1910,  to  the  great  loss  of  the  legal  world.  Its  prin- 
cipal feature  was  the  considerable  number  of  its  book  reviews, 
which   were   short   and   yet   critical,  and   were   arranged   by

subject  matter.  Some  of  the  divisions  were:  New  books, 
editions  of  statutes,  important  foreign  works,  surveys  of 
periodical  literature,  and  the  proceedings  and  publications  of 
associations  and  congresses.  Its  material  was  compiled  under 
the  following  subject  divisions:  Legal  history,  civil  law, 
commercial  law,  procedure,  criminal  law,  ecclesiastical  law, 
constitutional  and  administrative  law,  international  law,  and 
related  sciences.  In  1885  the  Centralblatt  published  a  series  of 
bibliographic  articles  on  the  legal  literature  of  the  various 
countries  of  Europe  during  the  period  1880  to  1884  or  1885. 
In  1894  a  similar  publication,  called  the  Juristischer  Littera- 
turbericht,  was  published  as  a  supplement  to  the  Centralblatt. 
It  consisted  of  a  critical  discussion  of  the  legal  literature  pro- 
duced during  the  years  1884  to  1894.  German  works,  espe- 
cially, are  emphasized,  the  various  subjects  being  dealt  with 
by  leading  authorities.  The  material  in  the  work,  which 
consists  of  some  three  hundred  and  sixt}'  pages,  was  divided 
into  the  following  subjects:  Philosophy  of  law,  comparative 
lav/,  legal  history,  Roman  law,  draft  of  the  German  civil  code, 
criminal  law,  procedure,  commercial  law,  constitutional  and 
administrative  law,  and  international  law.  It  is  a  matter  of 
regret  that  similar  critical  surveys  covering  extended  periods 
of  time  have  not  been  published  since.

ographic value. 

Two  well-known  German  periodicals  whose  attention  is 
devoted  particularly  to  legal  literature  arc  the  Jurisiischcs 
Literaiurblatt  and  the  Juristischc  Novitdten.  The  former, 
edited  by  Alfred  Keil  (Berlhi,  C.  Heymann,  1889  et  seq.), 
contains  short  bibliographies,  as  well  as  extensive  book 
reviews;  its  lists  include  both  German  and  foreign  law.  The 
Juristische  Novitdten,  which  has  appeared  monthly  since  1895 
(editor,  J.  A.  Barth;  ]iublisher,  '^l.  Dietrich,  Leipzig),  includes 
lists  of  recent  books,  both  German  and  foreign. 

K.  Frankenstein's  Z<^?7,s-c/r/-?;7 /»»-  Litteratnr  und  Geschichte  der 
Slaatsu'isxenschajten  (Leipzig,  C.  L.  Hirschf eld),  which  began 
publication  in  1893,  contains  extensive  bibhographic  data  on 
various  branches  of  social  science  and  law.  The  German 
bibliographies  on  social  science,  in  fact,  are  of  some  importance 
for  legal  literature  and  should  not  be  overlooked.  The 
BUiliographic  iLr  Rechlswisscnscliajt  und  Volksiciytschajislehrc 
has,  since  April,  1906,  appeared  as  a  monthly  supplement  to 
the  Bldtler  jtir  vcrqlcichcndv  Rechtswisscnschafl  u.  Volkswiri-

work.  It  is  divided  systematically  into  broad  subjects  and 
then  subdivided,  and,  besides  books,  the  i)eriodical  literature 
of  practicallv  the  entire  civilized  world  is  incorporated  under 
appropriate  headings.  The  legal  classification  follows  that  of 
the  continental  law.  Since  January,  191 1,  an  American 
edition  under  the  title  Bibliography  of  legal  science  has  been 
issued  (Chicago,  University  of  Chicago  Press). 

The  Jahrbuch  der  internationalen  Vereinigungjiir  vergleichende 
Rechtswissenschaftu.  V olkswirtschajtslehre  (Berlin,  Bahr;  Mann- 
heim, Bensheimer,  1895  et  seq.),  began  in  1896,  in  its  second 
volume,  to  publish  annual  reports  from  all  countries  on  the 
legislative  movements  in  each  country  and  the  important  legal 
literature  which  had  appeared  during  the  year.  This  is  an  im- 
portant source  of  information  and  may  be  emphasized  because 
it  brings  reports  from  countries  like  Greece,  Rumania,  Bulgaria, 
Turkey,  the  Spanish-American  countries,  and  others,  informa- 
tion in  regard  to  which  is  in  general  obtainable  only  with  great 
difficulty.  The  Nouvelle  revue  historique  de  droit  jratiQais 
(Paris,  L.  Larose),  founded  as  the  Revue  historique  in  1855, 
began  to  publish  in  1875  what  was  called  a  Bulletin  hiblio- 
graphique  in  each  volume.  This  has  now  become  an  exten- 
sive section  of  the  periodical.  All  periodical  articles  bearing 
on  legal  history  are  excerpted  and  in  addition  a  bibliography 
of  the  publications  of  learned  societies,  divided  by  countries, 
is  compiled  annually.  Books  appearing  during  the  year  are 
arranged  under  the  following  subjects:  Bibliography,  philos- 
ophy of  law.  Oriental  and  Greek  law,  Roman  law,  canon  law, 
history  of  French  public  law,  history  of  French  private  law,  and 
the  histor}'  of  foreign  law.  In  some  years  further  additions  of 
subjects  are  made.  The  Rivista  italiana  per  le  scienze  giuridiche 
(Roma,  E.  Loescher  &  Co.,  1886  et  seq.)  publishes  each  year 
a  Bollettino  bibliografico,  which  lists,  besides  the  Italian,  the 


CONTINENTAL   LAW  37 

important  French  and  German  literature  of  the  year.  Its 
sur\^ey  of  national  and  foreign  legal  periodicals  is  a  valuable 
feature  of  this  publication.  The  annual  bibliographies  of 
foreign  legal  literature  which  are  compiled  for  the  Tidsskrift 
for  retsvidenskab  (Copenhagen,  Gad;  Christiania,  Aschchoug), 
founded  in  1888,  cover  printed  books,  arranged  under  broad 
subject  divisions.  In  recent  years  they  have  been  compiled 
hy  Dahl.  The  Annual  bulletin  of  the  Comparative  law  bureau 
of  the  American  Bar  Association  (Philadelphia,  International 
printing  company,  1908  et  seq.)  contains  annual  bibliog- 
raphies of  the  important  legal  literature  of  the  various  coun- 
tries of  Kuro])c  and  America.  It  is,  however,  incomplete  in 
its  information. 

A  useful  index  of  the  periodicals  on  law  and  social  science 
is  the  Sozialwissenschaftlicher  Zeitschrijtenjuhrcr ,^  published  by 
the  Internationales  Inslitut  fur  Sozialbibliographie  in  Berlin. 
In  1909  the  bar  association  of  Barcelona-  undertook  to 
publish  an  index  to  the  articles  in  the  law  periodicals  in  its 
library.  They  have  e.xcerpted  most  of  the  important  French, 
Sj)anish,  and  Italian  legal  periodicals. 

.\  number  of  iiublisher's  lists  and  general  catalogues  warrant 
attention.  In  1907  Martinus  Nijhoff-'  issued  a  list  of 
the  most  im])ortant  continental  law  books  ])ul^lished  during 
1907.     This  little  work  was  continued  by  the  publication  of

Nijhoff's  monthly  list  of  the  principal  works  on  continental 
law,  the  material  being  subdivided  by  subjects.  In  1910 
the  lists  began  to  be  published  quarterly,  and  since  191 1 
have  been  continued  by  the  publication  of  typewritten  sheets. 
Attention  may  here  be  called  to  Nijhoff's  recent  catalogue 
(191 1 )  on  foreign  law,  which  contains  much  material  of  value. 
A  number  of  general  catalogues  are  of  interest.  There  is, 
first,  the  catalogue  of  the  Comite  de  legislation  ctrangere,^ 
which  has  now  by  a  law  of  July,  1910,  become  closely  identified 
with  the  French  ^Ministry  of  Justice.  This  library  contains 
the  largest  and  most  important  collection  of  comparative  law 
in  Europe.  The  catalogue  was  published  originally  in  1879, 
was  brought  up  to  date  in  1889,  and  was  continued  by  a  sup- 
plement in  1902.  The  material  is  divided  by  country.  The 
next  important  catalogue  is  that  of  the  library  of  the  Socieie 
de  legislation  comparee  in  Paris,"  the  second  edition  of  which 
was  published  in  1899.  The  Japanese  University  library  at 
Kyoto  ^  contains  a  considerable  collection  of  foreign  law, 
which  is  listed  in  its  catalogue  of  1903.  The  French  Pre- 
fecture of  the  Department  of  the  vSeinc  '  pubUshed  its  cata- 
logue of  foreign  legal  material  in  1892.  The  Belgian  Ministry 
of  Foreign  Affairs  has  two  important  libraries,  one  known  as  the

Library  of  the  ^linistry^  and  the  other  of  the  Bureau  de  Legis- 
lation;- each  has  issued  a  catalogue  of  its  collection.  In  1907 
the  Gary  Library  of  the  Northwestern  University,  which  con- 
tains one  of  the  most  important  collections  on  continental  law 
in  this  country,  published  a  brief  list,  by  title  only,  of  the 
contents  of  that  collection. 

In  October,  i9fX),  the  Dcparimenl  of  Justice'''  published  a 
catalogue  of  foreign  books,  in  languages  other  than  English, 
in  the  librar}-  of  the  Department,  arranged  by  countr}'. 
The  Massachusetts  State  Library  ^  has  recently  done  useful 
work  in  publishing  a  catalogue  of  the  laws  of  foreign 
countries  in  that  library.  In  1901  this  catalogue  was 
appended  to  the  Report  of  the  Librarian  for  1900,  but  in 
191 1  an  extensive  catalogue  (of  over  three  hundred  pages)  of 
the  statute  law  of  foreign  countries  was  issued.  Every 
geograjjhical  district,  Commonwealth,  or  vState,  regardless  of 
size  or  political  affiliation,  is  included  in  one  alphabet. 

There  are  a  number  of  works  on  special  branches  of  the  law 
which  contain  extensive  bibliographies.  In  comparative  law, 
an  excellent  work  is  Post's ''  treatise  on  the  problems  of 
general  jurisprudence.     It  is,  in  part,  a  critical  bibliography  of

general  comparative  law,  treating  of  the  sources  of  legal  history. 
To  this  we  must  now  add  the  first  ^  olume  in  the  Continental 
Legal  History  Series,  one  of  the  most  important  contributions 
to  legal  literature  ever  made  in  this  country.  This  first  in  a 
series  of  eleven  volumes^  consists  of  a  general  survey  of 
events,  sources,  persons,  and  movements  in  continental  legal 
history  from  476  A.  D.  until  modern  times.  The  legal  liter- 
ature ot  each  period  and  country  occupies  a  prominent  place 
throughout  the  work.  Each  section  is  fortified  with  addi- 
tional bibliographic  references.    . 

A  useful  bibliography  on  the  philosophy  of  law,  divided  by 
schools  of  juristic  thought  and  by  periods,  is  printed  as 
Appendix  E  (pp.  408-424)  of  W.  G.  Miller's  Lectures  on  the 
philosophy  of  law  (London,  Griffin,  1884). 

The  well-known  work  of  Leske-  and  Lowenfeld,  Rechtsver- 
jolgung  im  inter nalionalen  Verkehr,  which  at  present  has 
reached  four  volumes,  contains  carefully  prepared  mono- 
graphs dealing  with  the  law  of  foreign  countries  on  civil 
procedure  in  all  its  branches,  bankruptcy,  decedents'  estates, 
and  marriage  and  divorce.  Each  monograph  begins  with  a 
short  bibliographic  sketch  of  the  literature  on  those  subjects 
in  the  particular  country  under  discussion. 

There  are  several  useful  bibliographies  of  commercial  law. 
Muthers^  Utile  essay,  published  in  1862,  is  now  antiquated.

has  almost  been  concluded.  This  work  is  now  being  published 
both  in  a  French  and  in  an  Ivnglish  edition,  the  latter  bearing 
the  title  The  commercial  laws  of  the  world,  of  which  four  vol- 
umes have  already  been  issued  (Boston,  The  Boston  Book 
Co.,  191 1  et  seq.).  The  monograph  on  the  commercial  law 
of  each  country  is  preceded  by  an  extensive  bibliography 
of  commercial  law.  For  material  of  present-day  importance 
it  is  especially  useful.  In  1880,  O.  Gracklauer'-  published 
a  list  of  the  literature  on  maritime  law.  consuls,  marine 
insurance,  and  related  subjects,  published  during  the  \ears 
1855  to  1880.  In  1885,  there  assembled  at  Antwerp  the  Inter- 
national Congress  on  Commercial  Law.  On  the  occasion  of 
the  meeting.  Professor  Albert  Nyssens,^  of  Louvais,  with  the 
cooperation  of  other  scholars,  prepared  a  bibliography  of 
commercial  law,  emphasizing,  besidci  the  general  works,  the 
subjects  of  bills  of  exchange,  maritime  law,  and  the  contract 
of  affreightment;  it  is  not  a  complete  bibliography,  but  con- 
tains most  of  the  important  works  of  practical  use  in  1883.

of  pohtical  importance,  particularly  in  this  special  field  of 
political  parties,  one  of  its  most  prominent  features  is  intended 
to  be  a  bibliography  of  the  current  literature  on  political  parties 
and  party  government.  This  literature  is  usually  scattered 
in  fugitive  and  ephemeral  sources  and  is  brought  together 
in  no  other  place.  The  bibliography  should  prove  a  useful 
contribution  to  political  science. 

The  current  literature  on  colonial  law  is  to  be  found  listed 
in  each  number  of  the  Zeitschrifi  fur  KolonialpoliLik,  edited  b\' 
the  secretary  of  the  Deutsche  Kolonialgesellschaji  (Berlin.

The  bibliography  of  criminal  law  is  somewhat  more  exten- 
sive than  that  of  other  subjects.  In  1794,  Hcinrich  Blumner^ 
published  a  systematic  outline  of  the  literature  of  criminal 
law.  In  1804,  C.  L.  Brunner'^  published  his  handbook  of 
the  literature  of  criminal  legal  science.  This  was  followed, 
in  1816,  by  the  publication  of  Bohmer's"  treatise  on  the 
literature  of  criminal  law,  with  critical  discussions.  One  of 
the  best  known  of  these  early  bibliographies  of  criminal  law 
is  Kappler's  ■*  Haiulbuch  der  Literaiur  des  Criminalrcchts ,  pub- 
lished ill  two  large  volumes  in  1838.  In  1864,  S.  G.  Nypels,^ 
of  Liege,  published  his  select  bibliography  of  criminal  law, 
which  discusses  the  useful  books  in  the  principal  countries 
of  Europe  on  this  branch  of  the  law,  with  biographical  and 
critical  notes;  he  omits  periodical  articles.  The  literature  is 
discussed  epoch  by  epoch  and  country  by  country.  It  forms 
a  part  of  the  first  volume  of  Faustin-Helie's  Traite  de  I'in- 
siniciion  criminelle.  In  1894,  the  Internationale  kriminalistische 
V ereinigung "  published  a  work  on  modem  criminal  legisla- 
tion from  the  comparative  point  of  view.  The  first  of  the 
two  volumes  of  the  work  presented  the  criminal  law  of  the 
iCuiopean  states  and  included  a  section  under  each  country 
dealing   with   the    criminal-law   literature   of    that    country.

CRIMINAL   LAW  45 

In  1909,  Professor  Wigmore,^  one  of  the  ablest  constructive 
jurists  of  this  country,  pubUshed  a  preUminary  bibliography 
of  modern  criminal  law  and  criminology,  which  appeared  as 
Bulletin  No.  i  oi  the  Gary  T,ibrary  of  Law,  Northwestern 
University  Law  School.  In  the  preface  of  the  work  are 
mentioned  the  bibliographic  sources  from  which  the  work  was 
compiled.  The  material  in  the  bibliography  is  divided  as  fol- 
lows :  First,  treatises  and  essays  in  one  alphabetical  list ;  second, 
serials  divided  b}'  country;  and  third,  reports,  proceedings, 
and  other  publications  of  Governments,  congresses,  societies, 
and  institutions.  A  systematic  list  of  the  principal  works 
on  criminal  law  and  criminology  (59  pages)  was  also  prepared 
in  1909  by  Martinus  Nijhoff. 

WTiat  appears  to  be  one  of  the  most  valuable  contributions 
to  the  literature  of  legal  bibliography  is  the  history  of  the 
literature  of  criminal  law  which  has  recently  been  published 
by  Professor  Ladislaus  von  Thot,  of  Budapest,  in  Der  Gr- 
richtssaal  (191 2,  Pleft  2/6,  pp.  142-390).  In  this  monograph 
the  author  discusses  critically  the  works,  the  theories  of 
criminal  law,  and  the  legal  philosophy  of  the  ])rincipal  Ivuro- 
|)ean  criminalists,  omitting,  liowe\er,  those  of  Germany, 
Austria,  and  the  German-speaking  portions  of  Switzerland. 
He  is  primarily  concerned  with  the  older  writers,  but  in 
most  cases  he  has  not  failed  to  discuss  the  literature  of  the 
nineteenth  century.  Only  the  most  recent  works  have  in 
fact  been  omitted.  In  manner  of  treatment,  tlu-  luiropean 
literature  on  criminal  law  has  been  divided  into  four  groups: 
(a)  That  of  the  Germanic  nations,  in  which  the  author  dis- 
cusses the  Danish,  English,  Dutch,  Norwegian,  and  Swedish 
literature;  (6)  the  Latin  nations,  in  which  he  deals  with  the

monograph  Prof,  von  Thot  intends  to  take  up  the  contri- 
butions of  the  positive  school  of  criminal  law. 

The  Zeitschrift  fikr  die  gesamte  Strafrechtswissenschaft,  edited 
by  A.  Dochow  and  F.  v.  Liszt  (Berlin,  J.  Guttentag,  1881 
et  seq.),  contains  not  only  annual  bibliographies,  but  biblio- 
graphic sketches  on  various  branches  of  criminal  law;  it  is 
probably  the  best  of  the  many  good  periodicals  on  criminal 
law  published  on  the  Continent.  Since  1900  the  Tijdschriji 
vocrr  sirajrecht  (Leiden,  E.  J.  Brill,  1886  et  seq.),  the  Dutch 
periodical  on  criminal  law,  contains  regularly  a  bibliography 
by  L.  D.  Petit,  which  includes  the  literature  published  during 
the  year. 

Bibliographies  of  recent  literature  on  criminology  have 
from  time  to  time  been  published  in  the  Journal  of  Criminal 
Law  and  Criminology  (Chicago,  American  Institute  of  Criminal 
Law  and  Criminology,  1910  et  seq.).  The  section  on  book 
reviews  is  an  important  feature  of  that  periodical. 

Canon  law  has  exercised  a  lasting  influence  upon  conti- 
nental law,  and  at  various  periods  was  as  important  a  factor 
in  its  development  as  Roman  law  and  customary  law.  One 
of  the.  best  sources  of  inform.ation  on  the  sources  and  litera- 
ture of  canon  law  is  Part  ix,  translated  from  Brissaud,  of 
the  first  volume  in  the  Continental  Legal  History  .Series 
{supra,  p.  40).  The  legal  bibliographies  of  the  seventeenth, 
eighteenth,  and  early  ninteenth  centuries  generally  include 
canon  as  well  as  civil  law.  While  the  literature  of  canon  law 
is  plentiful,  the  works  especially  useful  for  bibliographic  pur- 


CANON   LAW  47 

poses  may  be  quickly  named.  One  of  the  standard  works 
is  Siintzing's  '  History  of  the  popular  literature  of  Roman 
and  canon  law  in  Germany  to  the  bci^inning  of  the  sixteenth 
century.  Maasscn's  -  work  carries  the  history  ol  the  sources 
and  literature  of  canon  law^  up  to  the  time  of  the  false  de- 
cretals. It  appeared  in  1870  and  is  considered  valuable. 
The  industrious  Professor  Schu/te^*  has  published  two 
important  works  on  the  literature  of  ecclesiastical  and  canon 
law.  In  1887,  Tardif''  issued  his  history  of  the  sources 
of  canon  law,  which  contains  (p.  8  et  seq.)  a  detailed  bibli- 
ography. Ertal''  in  1890  published  a  small  work  on  the 
sources  of  Roman,  ecclesiastical,  and  Geniian  law.  Sca- 
duio's ''  work  on  the  ecclesiastical  law  in  force  in  Italy 
contains  a  long  bibliography  of  sources  and  of  the  motlern 
literature.  The  Dt'/f/.vc/it?  Zcilschrijt  jtir  KirchotnchI  (founded 
in  181^1,  Tubingen,  Mohr)  is  a  \aluabk'  -referenci-  work  for 
the  recent  literature  on  ecclesiastical  law,  not  only  in  (iermans' 
but  in  the  other  important  countries  of  Europe  as  well.

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY 

The  carlv  German  bibliographic  literature  includes,  as  well, 
the  law  books  published  in  Austria;  and,  indeed,  it  may  in 
general  be  said  that  the  German  bibliographies  of  the  present 
dav  include  all  works  published  in  the  German  language, 
whether  they  appear  in  Austria  or  in  Germany  proper. 
Only  after  the  appearance  of  the  Austrian  Civil  Code,  in  1811, 
did  some  bibliographers  begin  to  make  a  distinction  by  treat- 
ing Austrian  law  separately;  they  were,  however,  few  in 
number. 

One  of  the  earliest  of  these  is  Vesque  von  Piittlingen's  ' 
Darstelhing  der  Literahir  des  osterreichischen  allgemeinen  burger- 
lichen  Gesetzhuches ,  published  in  1827.  It  is  a  critical  and 
descriptive  bibliography  of  books  and  periodical  articles 
relating  to  the  civil  code  of  Austria.  This  was  followed  in 
1S47  by  the  publication  of  Stubenrauch's  -  Bibliotheca 
juridica  austriaca,  a  compilation  of  all  the  books  and  articles 
in  Austrian  periodicals  from  the  earliest  times  until  1846. 
Enslin  and  Engelmann's  Bibliotheca  juridica,  which  came 
down  to  1849  and  was  brought  down  to  1867  by  Wuttig  and 
to  1876  by  Rossberg  (see  infra,  under  Germany),  includes 
Austrian  as  well  as  German  literature.  In  1852  Damianitsch  ^ 
published  the  second  edition  of  his  work  on  the  literature  of

the  Austrian  Civil  Code.  The  firm  of  Manz  &  Co./  the  leading 
law  publishers  of  Austria,  regularly  issue  catalogues  of  impor- 
tant works  on  Austrian  law,  the  last  of  these  catalogues  being 
dated  191 1.  Up  to  1885  they  also  published  at  regular 
intervals  indexes  of  the  best  works  on  all  branches  of  law, 
which,  however,  were  confined  to  works  then  in  print.  The 
eighth  edition  of  this  Bihliotheca  juridica  appeared  in  1895. 
It  may  also  be  well  to  call  attention  to  the  bibliography 
of  the  Government  publications  of  Austria,-  issued  almost 
annually;  many  of  these  are  of  interest  in  law. 

An  interesting  article  entitled  "The  history  of  the  political 
literature  of  Austria"  (Die  geschichte  der  polUischen  Literaiiir 
Osterreichs)  by  Dr.  L,udwig  Spiegel  was  published  in  the 
Zeitschriji  fiir  Politik,  v.  4  (191 1),  pp.  86-124.  It  discusses 
critically  the  political  history  of  Austria  since  1848,  princi- 
pally from  the  point  of  view  of  the  literature  bearing  ujioii  ii . 

The  legal  literature  of  Bohemia  and  Croatia,  published 
during  the  years  1880  to  1885,  was  discussed  by  Professor 
Praiak,  of  Prague,  in  Kirchenheim's  Ceniralblatt  fiir  Rechls- 
wissenschaft  (vol.  5,  No.  lo-ii,  pp.  345-350).  The  Bohemian 
literature  on  criminal  law  for  the  years  1906  to  1909  was 
discussed  by  August  Miricka  in  the  Zeitschrift  fiir  die  (jcsnm/c 
Sirafrcchtswissenschaft  (1910,  No.  1,  pp.  107- 117).

DENMARK,    NORWAY,    AND    SWEDEN 

In  1876  Professor  Aagesen,^  of  Copenhagen,  published  a 
comprehensive  bibliography  for  Denmark,  Norway,  Sweden, 
and  Iceland,  which  also  included  some  Finnish  literature. 
The  bibliography  was  divided  according  to  the  class  of  mate- 
rial and  by  country  and  subject  matter.  The  review  of 
Aagesen's  work  by  Konrad  von  Maurer  in  the  Kritische  Vier- 
teljahresschrift,  volume  19,  pages  106-114,  constitutes  both 
an  excellent  review  of  that  work  and  calls  attention  to  some 
supplementar)?^  material.  The  catalogue  of  the  private  col- 
lection of  Konrad  von  Maurer,^  one  of  the  most  celebrated 
students  of  Scandinavian  law,  is  in  itself  a  comprehensive 
bibliography  of  Scandinavian  legal  literature.  The  collection 
was  purchased  by  Harvard  University.  A  bibliography  of 
the  large  number  of  books  and  articles  written  by  Von  Maurer 
was  compiled  by  Max  van  Vleuten  for  the  Tidsskrift  for  retsvi- 
denskab,  1903,  pages  17-29. 

The  plan  laid  down  by  Aagesen  in  his  bibliography  was 
followed  by  V.  A.  Secher,  another  prominent  jurist  of  Den- 
mark, in  the  periodical  surveys  of  Danish  legal  literature 
published  in  1884,  1889,  1895,  and  1903  in  the  Ugeskrift  for 
retsvaesen.  Although  limited  in  its  title  to  Danish  legal  lit- 
erature, the  remainder  of  Scandinavia  is  not  neglected.  As  in 
Aagesen's  work,  one  section  deals  with  bibliography  and  lists 
the  periodical  and  other  sources  of  bibliographic  information. 
Secher's  work  includes  references  to  periodical  literature  and 
indicates  often  the  location  of  book   reviews  of  the  works

For  the  period  1880  to  1885  Dr.  Platou,  of  Christiania,  has 
given  us  a  critical  discussion  of  the  Scandinavian  legal  liter- 
ature in  Kirchenheim's  Centralhlatt  fur  Rechtsunssenschaft 
(December,  1885,  vol.  5,  No.  3,  pp.  89-95).  Exhaustive 
annual  bibliographies  covering  the  legal  literature  of  all  por- 
tions of  Scandinavia  are  published  in  the  last  part  of  the 
annual  volumes  of  the  Tidsskrijt  for  retsvidenskab  (Copen- 
hagen, Gad;  Kristiania,  Ascheboug,  1888  et  seq.).  These 
bibliographies  were  begun  by  vSecher  and  continued  by 
Taranger,  Dahl,  Motzfeldt,  Birch-Reichenwald,  Granfelt,  and 
vSchlyter. 

The  Nordisk  rctsencyklopaedi  (Kjpbenhavn,  1878-90,  5  vol.) 
contains  under  each  of  its  divisions  useful  bibliographic  infor- 
mation on  Scandinavian  law. 

A  general  bibliography  covering  Danish  literature,  legal 
and  otherwise,  from  1482  to  1830  is  the  Bihliotheca  datv'ca,' 
])ublished  in  three  volumes,  1 877-1 896. 

Lists  of  Scandinavian  law  books  were  from  the  beginning 
of  its  publication  a  special  feature  of  Kirchenheim's  Ccniral-

important  works  on  Danish  law. 

A  bibliography  of  Scandinavian  legal  history,  including 
source  books,  statutes,  and  documents  of  every  description 
of  interest  to  legal  historians,  was  compiled  by  Karl  Lehmann 
and  published  in  the  Zeitschrift  der  Savigny-Stiftung,  Germa- 
nistische  AbteUung,  volume  7,  pages  205-234,  with  supplements 
in  volume  8,  pages  170-173,  and  volume  10,  pages  246-248. 
The  Historisk  tidskrijt  publishes  annually  bibliographies  of 
Danish  and  Swedish  history,  including  legal  material.  The 
Scandinavian  literature  on  legal  history  and  philosophy  is 
discussed  in  the  course  of  Hertzberg's  monograph  contribution 
on  Scandinavia  to  the  first  volume  of  the  Continental  Legal 
History  Series  {supra,  p.  40).  The  Scandinavian  literature  of 
criminal  law  is  exhaustively  treated  in  Professor  von  Thot's 
article  in  Der  Gerichtssaal,  1912,  pages  145-155  covering  Den- 
mark, pages  201-202,  Norway,  and  pages  203-224,  Sweden. 

Apart  from  the  above  bibliographies  dealing  with  all  the 
countries  of  Scandinavia,  distinct  bibliographies  of  Norwegian 
and  Swedish  legal  literature  are  negligible  in  quantity.  We 
may  call  attention  to  the  small  bibliography  on  the  ancient 
laws  of  Norway  and  Iceland  published  in  191 1  by  Halldor 
Hermaunsson  *  as  the  fourth  annual  volume  relating  to 
Iceland  in  the  Fisk  Icelandic  collection  in  the  Cornell  Uni- 
versity Library.  This  little  book  discusses  its  material  under 
the  headings  of  collections  and  diplomataria,  individual  texts, 
history  and  criticism,  bibliography  and  biography.  A  praise- 
worthy feature  of  the  work  is  a  copious  use  of  bibliographic, 
explanatory,  and  contents  notes,  and  in  the  case  of  monograph

Many  modem  works  and  periodical  articles  dealing  with 
Scandinavian  history  or  institutions  are  listed.  Attention 
may  also  be  called  to  the  general  catalogue  of  Norwegian 
literature  from  1643  to  181 3,  and  of  foreign  books  relating  to 
Norway  published  in  two  volumes,  1899-1910.^ 

A  bibliography  of  vSwedish  history  covering  the  period  1875 
to  1900,  useful  also  for  legal  history,  was  published  by  Kristian 
Setterwall?  Annual  bibliographies  of  Swedish  legal  liter- 
ature are  published  in  the  Nytt  juridiskt  arkiv  (founded  in 
1890).  An  important  bibliographic  article  on  Swedish  law  bv 
I'rofessor  F.  K.  Neubecker,  of  Berlin,  is  to  be  found  in  vol- 
ume 22  (1908),  pages  65  to  81,  of  the  Zeitschrijt  jur  verqlei- 
chende  Rechiswissenschaft,  edited  by  Bcrnhoft,  Cohn,  and  Kohlcr 
(Stuttgart,  Enke) ;  it  is  entitled  Das  schwedische  Rcchi  and  seine

Winroth's  important  treatise  on  .Swedish  civil  law.

French  bibliographies  worthy  of  note  did  not  commence 
until  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century.  Camtis,^  in  1772, 
published  his  select  bibliography,  of  which  new  editions 
appeared  until  1832.  In  1819,  Dupin  edited  the  fourth  edi-

century,  generally  confined  to  works  on  Roman  and  Germanic 
law  and  to  rare  books.  Lipenius  and  Struvius  were  among 
the  few  to  include  works  on  French  law  in  their  bibliographies. 
The  fifth  edition  of  Camus,  published  in  1832,  consisted  of 
two  volumes,  entitled  Profession  d'avocat  (Paris,  Gobelet)  ; 
volume  two  of  the  book  contains  the  select  bibliography  of 
law  to  which  we  have  just  referred.  It  contains  critical  dis- 
cussions, under  their  appropriate  subjects,  of  the  important 
legal  literature.  The  last  fifty  pages  of  the  book  consist  of 
historical,  critical,  and  bibliographic  notes  on  several  remark- 
able books  in  French  law,  notable  for  their  age  or  originality. 
The  work  discusses  books  only,  and  not  periodical  articles. 
Dupin,  the  editor  of  Camus,  published  in  1820  and  agi 
1828  brief  bibliographic  notes  intended  as  supplements  to 
the  1 819  edition.  The  important  material,  however,  was  all 
included  in  the  1832  edition  of  the  work. 

In  1854  Waree^  began  what  he  called  an  "Index 
{Repertoire)  of  the  works  on  law,  legislation,  and  jurispru- 
dence," which  had  been  published  from  1789  to  1855. 
Several  later  editions  of  this  work  were  issued  by  the  firm 
of  Durand  in  Paris.  This  Repertoire  was  intended  to  some 
extent  to  be  a  continuation  of  Camus  and  Dupin 's  fifth 
edition  of  1832;  it  dispenses,  however,  with  most  of  the 
critical  notes  of  that  work.  Waree's  Repertoire  and  the 
continuations  which  were  edited  by  Thorin^  became  the 
basis  for  the  Repertoire  of  French  works  on  law  and  political

science  published  periodically  by  French  law  publishers.*- " 
In  Waree's  time  the  catalogue  (for  it  is  more  of  a  catalogue 
than  a  bibliography)  was  not  as  complete  as  it  is  at  the 
present  day.  Before  1895  these  bibliographies  or  general 
catalogues  of  French  law  publications  appeared  at  intervals 
of  several  years;  after  that  date  they  appear  annually.^ 
This  publication  is  perhaps  the  most  useful  source  of  infor- 
mation for  modem  works  on  French  law. 

Several  indexes  exist  of  the  doctors'  dissertations  published 
at  the  universities  of  France.  The  first,  by  Fontaine  dr 
Kesbecq*  indexes  the  dissertations  published  from  1806  to 
1857  and  discusses  critically  those  issued  after  1851.  This  is 
followed  by  the  work  of  Dubos,^  who  continued  tlic  list  from 
1857  to  1885.  Since  that  date  the  firm  of  Giard  &  Briere 
have  continued  the  publication  of  lists  of  doctors'  dissertations. 

Periodical  sources  of  French  legal  bibliography  are  not 
numerous.  In  1853  an  attempt  was  made  to  begin  a  journal 
devoted   to  critical  bibliography;"  it  was  edited  by  Charles

The  French  literature  for  the  period  from  1880  to  1885  is 
discussed  by  Professor  Lyon-Caen,  the  noted  jurist  of  Paris, 
in  Kirchenheim's  Centralhlatt  jur  Rechtswissenschaft  (vol.  5, 
No.  4,  pp.  121-131).  The  firm  of  Giard  &  Briere^  issues 
monthly  a  publication  of  a  few  pages  which  they  call  Revue 
bibliographique  of  all  books  on  law,  jurisprudence,  political 
economy,  finance,  and  sociology.  It  contains  short  book 
reviews,  lists  of  new  books,  surveys  of  the  contents  of  French 
periodicals,  and  notices  of  second-hand  books  for  sale  by 
Giard  iv  Briere.  Attention  may  also  be  called  to  the  Nouvelle 
revtie  historique  de  droit  franfais  (supra,  p  36),  and  to  the 
Revue  trimestrielle  de  droit  civil  {supra,  p.  51),  as  French

Several  catalogues  require  mention.  The  earliest  of  value 
is  the  catalogue  of  the  library  of  the  Cour  de  Cassation,^ 
which  appeared  in  1819  and  1825  in  two  volumes.  The  bar 
association  at  Paris  '  {niblished  a  two- volume  catalogue  of

LaboiUaye;  ^  the  first  209  pages  of  the  book  include  the  legal 
literature  in  that  library.  The  Prefecture  of  the  Department 
of  the  Seine,-  whose  catalogue  we  have  already  mentioned, 
published  a  catalogue  of  its  French  law  books  in  1898. 
We  might  also  add  that  in  1890  to  1896  the  National  Library 
in  Paris  ^  published  a  four- volume  catalogue  of  the  briefs, 
pleadings,  and  other  documents  filed  before  1790;  it  was 
edited  by  A.  Corda,  an  assistant  in  the  library. 

An  exceedingly  useful  publication,  not  only  for  the  actual 
statement  of  the  law,  but  for  the  bibliography  of  everv 
important  subject  in  law  is  the  encyclopaedic  work  in  37 
volumes  Repertoire  general  alphabetique  du  droit  franfais* 
(1886- 1 905),  to  which  supplements  are  now  beginning  to  be 
issued.  The  essays  on  the  various  topics  are  accompanied 
by  extensive  bibliographies. 

A  number  of  works  on  special  branches  of  French  law  are 
useful  for  bibliographic  purposes.  For  the  literature  dealing 
with  the  history  of  I'rcn?h  law  and  its  institutions,  the  work 
of  Gavet^  published  in  1899  is  the  most  important;  it  is 
exhaustixe  in  its  discussions  of  early  legal  litenUure.  Two 
other  useful  sources  of  literature  on  I'Vench  legal  history  are

GERMANY. 

Germany  has  always  been  prolific  in  the  publication  of  legal 
bibliographies.  Most  of  the  general  bibliographies  already 
mentioned,  ])ublished  in  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth 
centuries,  were  edited  by  Germans.  A  few  of  the  later 
eighteenth  century  bibliographies  confining  themselves  to  the 
German  literature  are  the  following :  Storr's  ^  work  on 
German  legal  literature  from  1771  to  1780;  Westphal's  ^ 
systematic  introduction  to  the  best  books  on  law  and  related

and  German  law.  Wolf's  Juristisches  Vademecum,  which 
ceased  publication  about  1900,  was  a  dictionary  catalogue  of 
the  principal  German  law  books  in  print.  It  was  issued 
periodically  at  Leipzig.  Iloltzendorff's  Rechtslexicon  (Leipzig, 
1876,  2  V.)  contains  useful  bibliographic  information  under 
each  article  of  the  lexicon. 

in  1868  Otto  Miihlbrecht/  of  Berlin,  began  the  publica-

bimonthly  numbers  to  list  the  legal  literature  of  Germany  and 
other  countries  of  Europe  in  alphabetical  order.  In  1868 
Miihlbrecht  -  published  his  bibliography  of  Prussian  legal 
literature.  Reference  has  already  been  made  to  the  publica- 
tion of  Miihlbrecht's  ^  Wegweiser,  or  "Guide  to  the  modern 
literature  of  law,"  published  in  two  volumes  in  1893  and  1901. 
This  is  a  subject  catalogue  of  the  literature  produced  in  Ger- 
many between  the  years  1868  and  the  date  of  publication. 
Several  important  sections  of  the  book  are  also  devoted  to 
foreign  law,  arranged  by  country.

their  prices,  by  subject  matter  and  character  of  the  work — 
for  example,  treatises,  commentaries,  text  editions,  etc. ;  it  is

formerly  assistant  librarian  of  the  supreme  court  of  Gennany 
and  now  Ubrarian  of  the  Imperial  military  court  at  Berlin,

catalogue  and  bibliography  of  the  literature  of  Germany'  for 
the  years  1905  and  1906;  unfortunately,  the  work  was  pub-

We  take  the  liberty  of  calling  special  attention  to  the 
recent  Guide  to  the  law  and  legal  literature  of  Germany  (1912),' 
published  by  the  Library  of  Congress.  In  that  work  an 
attempt  has  been  made  to  present  systematically  and  with 
critical  evaluation  the  important  legal  literature  of  Germany. 
The  Library  hopes  to  issue  similar  guides  for  the  other  impor- 
tant countries  of  Europe. 

Various  periodical  publications  since  the  early  part  of  the 
nineteenth  century  have  made  a  specialty  of  conveying 
bibliographic  information.  In  1826  the  Jahrhiicher  der 
gesammten  deidschen  jurislischen  Literatur  -  was  founded ; 
it  lasted  until  1836.  From  1837  to  1848  the  Kritische 
jahrhiicher  fiir  deutsche  Rechtswissenschaft  ^  was  published  at 
Leipzig.  From  1853  to  1859  Professors  Arndts,  Bluntschli,

1880  to  1883.  In  1894  this  same  journal  published  as  a 
supplement  the  volume  Jurislischer  Liieraturhericht ,  which 
covered  the  Uterature  from  1884  to  1894  (Leipzig,  Hinrichs, 
1896.  360  p.).  In  1887  and  1888  a  publication  called 
Juristischer  Literattirbericht  ^  was  published  periodically,  but 
was  superseded  in  1889  by  the  Juristisches  Literaturblaii, 
edited  by  Albert  Keil  (Berlin,  Heymann),  which  contains 
short  critical  bibliographies  on  special  subjects,  as  well  as 
extensive  book  reviews.  The  Juristischc  Novildten,  a  useful 
bibliographic  source  of  information,  edited  by  J.  A.  Barth, 
has  appeared  monthly  since  1895  (Leipzig,  Dietrich).  The 
firm  of  J.  Schweitzer,  in  Munich,  issues  at  regular  intervals 
Schweitzer's  Literaturhericht,  which,  besides  announcing  the 
recent  publications  of  that  firm,  reports  in  alphabetical  order 
the  new  books  published  in  Germany  on  law  and  related 
sciences.  This  Literaturbericht  is  now  (1912)  in  its  sixth  year. 
The  Deutsche  Juristen-Zeitung  contains  a  section  in  each  of 
its  numbers  devoted  to  recent  legal  Hterature  and  a  survey 
of  general  legal  periodicals  (Berlin,  O.  Liebmann,  1896  et  seq.). 

Two  bibliographies  of  German  periodicals,   rival   puhlica

of  the  German  Reichstag-  is  rich  in  legal  literature;  its  cata- 
logue was  first  pubhshed  in  live  volumes  (1890  to  1899),  sub- 
sequent additions  being  listed  in  supplements.  The  catalogue 
of  the  reference  collection  ^  contains  lists  of  the  important 
literature  on  the  different  branches  of  law;  the  third  edition  of 
this  catalogue  was  printed  in  1902.  The  catalogue  of  the 
Library  of  the  Prussian  Ministry  of  the  Interior*  was  published 
in  three  volumes  (1904  to  1909).  One  of  the  best  modern

of  Frankfurt  am  Main/  volume  i  of  which  was  published 
in  1908  and  contains  a  section  on  law. 

Germany  has  published  many  important  works  of  biblio- 
graphic value  for  special  subjects.  In  the  field  of  legal  his- 
tory, wc  may  note  Christopher  WeidlicWs'-  biobibliographv 
of  the  notable  legal  scholars  living  in  1748.  This  was  fol- 
lowed by  a  supplement  published  from  1757  to  1765,  followed 
in  turn  by  a  Lexikon  published  in  1766.  A  new  edition  of 
W^eidlich's  work  in  five  volumes,  containing  short  biobiblio- 
grapliic  sketches  of  living  jurists,  was  begun  in  1781.  The 
introduction  and  part  one  are  a  bibliographic  summary  of 
legal  literature  then  in  existence.  Cosla's  ^  bibliography  of 
German  legal  history,  published  in  1858,  while  not  complete, 
is,  nevertheless,  one  of  the  most  useful  bibliographic  works 
of  German  legal  and  political  institutions  that  has  been 
published.  Its  bibliographic  lists  of  municipal  documenls 
by  periods  and  by  classes  of  material  are  important. 

The  remarkable  work  by  R.  Stintzing  on  the  liislory 
of  German  legal  science  {Geschichte  der  deutschen  Rich/\- 
wissenschaftY  merits  a  special  place  in  a  monograph  of  (his

author,  and  continued  until  modern  times  by  Dr.  Ernst 
Landsberg,  records  the  contributions  of  every  prominent 
German  scholar  to  the  development  of  legal  science  in  all  its 
branches.  For  bibliographic  purposes  it  is  a  mine  of  infor- 
mation. 

The  bibliographic  notes  running  through  the  essay  on 
Germany  in  the  first  volume  of  the  Continental  Legal  His- 
tory Series  (supra,  p.  40)  are  also  useful  in  the  field  of  legal 
history. 

Ilomeyer's  ^  -bibliographic  discussions  of  the  law  books  of 
the  Middle  Ages  and  their  manuscripts  is  an  important  bib- 
liographic contribution.  For  the  early  literature  also, 
Stobbe's  -  Geschichte  der  deutschen  Rechtsquellen,  published 
in  two  volumes,  i860  to  1864,  is  an  important  work. 

In  the  field  of  public  law,  Putter's  ^  Litteratur  des  teiUschen 
Staatsrechts,  a  critical  survey  of  German  legal  literature,  from 
the  beginning  to  the  date  of  its  publication,  is  important;  it 
was  begun  in  1776,  the  fourth  volume  being  published  hv 
Kliiber  in  179 1.  /.  T.  Roth'^  published  a  supplement  to 
Putter's  Litteratur  in  1791.  Nor  should  we  fail  to  mention 
again  Mohl's  valuable  work  {supra,  p.  42)  published  in 
1855.  During  the  present  year  (191 2)  P.  Wentzcke^  has 
published  a  critical  bibhography  of  the  ephemeral  and

history,  relating  especially  to  the  troublous  period  of  1848- 
1851. 

In  the  field  of  civil  law  we  have  referred  to  the  annual 
bibUographies  by  Gconj  Maas  ^  which  have  appeared  since 
1888;  they  were  bound  in  one  volume  from  1888  to  1898 
and  in  another  from  1899  to  1903.  These  bibUographies 
appeared  annually  until  1904  in  the  Archiv  jiir  hiirqerlichcs 
Recht.  vSince  1904  this  periodical  publishes  biennially  a 
Civilistische  Rundschau,  or  critical  survey  of  recent  literature 
in  civil  law.  Reference  must  also  be  made  to  the  bibliog- 
raphy of  the  oHicial  material  on  the  Civil  Code,  published 
by  Georg  Maas'-  in  1897.  From  1898  to  1901,  Otto  Miihl- 
brecht^  published  three  parts  of  a  bibliography  of  the  Civil 
Code,  discussing  particularly  the  literature  in  Germany  since 
1877,  the  year  of  great  legal  reforms  and  of  the  codification 
of  important  branches  of  the  law.  It  is  useful  for  the  litera- 
ture of  the  various  commissions  and  the  successive  drafts  of 
the  German  Ci^■il  Code. 

In  1865,  Walthtv  '  published  a  bibliography  of  German 
civil  procedure.     In    1884,   Birkmeyer^  compiled   an   exten-

sive  bibliography  of  the  literature  on  the  German  Code  of 
Civil  Procedure,  arranged  in  accordance  with  the  sections  of 
that  code.  The  work  was  published  in  Gruchot's  Beitrdgc 
(1884,  pp.  179-241).  An  extensive  annual  survey  of  the 
literature  on  German  civil  procedure,  bankruptcy  and  non- 
contentious  jurisdiction  is  printed  in  the  Zeitschrift  filr  deut- 
schen  Zivilprozess  (Berlin,  Heymann). 

For  commercial  law  we  may  call  attention  to  Voigtel's  * 
survey  of  the  literature  from  1852  to  1875;  and  we  may 
again  mention  the  bibliographic  lists  contained  in  the  annual 
\'olumes  of  the  Zciischrijt  jiir  das  gesammic  Handelsrecht 
founded  by  Goldschmidt  (Stuttgart,  F.  Enke)  in  1858. 

In  the  field  of  criminal  law  we  have  already  mentioned  the 
bibliographies  of  Blumner,  Brunner,  Bohmer,  and  Kappler  in 
the  late  eighteenth  and  early  nineteenth  centuries.  To  these 
we  may  add  the  treatise  of  Feuerbach,^  one  of  the  classicists 
of  German  criminal  law;  the  fourteentli  edition  contains 
valuable  bibliographic  information.  We  may  also  mention  a 
similar  v\^ork  by  Boehlau  ^  on  the  sources  and  literature  of 
German  and  Prussian  criminal  law. 

GREECE. 

Bibliographies  of  Greek  law  are  rare.  The  literature  for 
the  years  1880  to  1885  was  discussed  by  Professor  Costi,  of 
Athens,  in  Kirchenheim's  Ccntralblatt  jiir  Rechtsivisscnschajt

translation,  by  title  only,  in  Kirchenheim's  Ccntralblatt  fur 
Rechtswissensckaft  (vol.  14,  1894,  pp.  413-418).  In  1908 
Cesare  Bertolini  began  the  publication  of  a  current  bibliography 
on  ancient  Greek  and  Roman  law,  which  is  printed  annually 
in  the  Btillettino  delVIstituto  di  Diritto  Romano,  of  Rome. 
In  the  Bulletin  biblioqraphiq^ie  of  the  Nouvelle  revue  historique 
de  droit  jranQais  (supra)  one  section  deals  with  Drait  oriental 
et  droit  grec.  In  the  1 883  volume  of  that  periodical  G.  Bar- 
rilleau  contributed  an  article  on  the  sources  of  Greek  law 
(pp.  613-657).  Professor  von  Thot's  article  in  the  Gcricliissaal 
(supra)  devotes  several  pages  (286-291)  to  the  literature  of 
Greek  criminal  law. 

ITALY. 

The  useful  bibliographies  of  Italian  law  may  be  quickly 
mentioned.  (For  a  more  complete  record  the  student  may 
be  referred  to  the  Bibliothvca  hiblioqraphica  of  Oltino'  and 
Fumagalli.)  In  1851  Orlando'-  published  his  bibliogra])hv  of 
ancient  vSicihan  law;  and  in  1883  Redone- Lauriel,^  of  Paris, 
devoted  a  section  of  their  catalogue  of  works  published  in 
France,  to  a  list  of  law  books  published  in  Italy. 

The  Italian  literature  published  during  the  years  1 880  to  1 885 
was  discussed  by  Professor  Serafmi,  of  Pisa,  in  KirclRnlKim's 
C(  ntralblatt  jur  Rcchtswisscnschaft  (vol.  5,  No.  57,  pp.  19O-204).

74  BIBLIOGRAPHY 

Allgemeine  Bibliographie  der  Staats-  und  Rechtswissenschaften 
and  in  Kirchenheim's  Centralhlatt  filr  Rechtswissenschaft. 

In  1884,  E.  Detken^  published  a  bibliography  of  Italian 
and  foreign  law,  which  was  intended  to  be  a  monthly  period- 
ical; it  existed  for  a  very  brief  period  only.  Probably  the 
best  periodical  in  Italy  for  legal  literature  is  the  Rivista 
italiana  per  le  scienze  giuridiche,  which  contains  in  each  num- 
ber a  Bolletiirw  hihliografi<:o,  and  emphasizes  Italian  law 
throughout  (Rome,  Loescher,  1887  et  seq.).  In  the  year 
1886,  pages  71-108,  this  review  published  a  critical  article 
on  the  bibliography  of  Italian  civil  law;  but  it  seems  not  to 
have  been  continued  in  subsequent  years.  The  Giurispru- 
denza  italiana  (Torino,  Unione  Tip.  Editr.)  publishes  annualh" 
a  subject  index  which  contains  bibliographic  notes.  The 
first  number  (May,  191 2)  of  the  Bibliografia  giuridico- 
sociale,  published  by  the  firm  of  Ermanno  Loescher  &  Co., 
in  Rome,  is  accompanied  by  the  announcement  that  this 
bibliography  of  recent  Italian  works  on  law  and  social  science 
will  be  issued  at  intervals  of  about  six  months.  The  bib- 
liography is  arranged  by  subject  matter. 

Ihe  legal  history  of  modem  Europe  finds  many  of  its 
original  elements  in  Italy.  The  bibliographic  information 
contained  in  the  first  volume  of  the  Continental  Legal  History 
Series  {supra,  p.  40)  will  be  found  useful.  On  Italian  legal 
history  the  bibliographies  contained  in  the  various  chapters 
of  vSchupfer's  -  Manualc  di  sioria  del  diriito  ifaliuno  are  the 
most  complete  of  their  kind.

are  one  of  the  important  sources  of  Italian  law.  Practically 
each  city  had  a  "Statute"  of  its  own.  The  bibliography  of 
these  statutes  has  been  the  subject  of  research  bv  a  number 
of  writers,  to  whom  attention  is  here  directed.  Francesco 
Bonaini  published  an  exhaustive  study  on  the  subject,  Alcuui 
appunti  per  servire  ad  una  bibliografia  dcgli  statuti  italiaui, 
which  appeared  in  the  Antmli  delle  Universita  Toscane,  vol- 
ume 2,  1 8.5 1  (pp.  141-234),  and  volume  3,  1854  (pp.  5-42). 
This  was  followed,  in  1858,  by  the  monograph  of  Berlan} 
In  1876  Manzoni-  published  a  valuable  bibliographv  on 
Italian  legal  history,  dealing  principally  with  the  city  statutes. 
Lozzi's^  bibhography  of  Italian  history  begins  with  a  long 
chapter  (pp.  1-87)  on  the  Italian  city  statutes.  Other 
bibliographies  of  history  also  include  these  statutes.  In 
1888  La  Manila*  published  a  bibliography  of  the  various 
editions  of  the  Italian  city  statutes.  In  1891  Goneita''  pub- 
lished a  bibliography  dealing  with  the  statutes  of  the  arts, 
trades,  and  crafts  guilds,  the  oldest  of  the  organizations  of 
Italy,  whose  charters  and  statutes  became  an  important  com- 
ponent part  of  the  city  statutes,  in  that  Italian  commercial 
law  finds  its  basis  in  these  sources.  A  bibliograph\-  dealing 
with  the  legislation  of  the  city  of  Venice  alone  was  published 
in  1880  by  Valsecchi.''

76  lilHIJOGKAPIlY 

A  bibliography  of  the  principal  works  on  legal  philosophy 
published  in  Italy  from  Vico  to  the  present  day  is  found  at 
volume  2,  pages  378-392,  of  Hastie's  translation  of  Lioy's 
Philosophy  of  right.  ^ 

An  extensive  critical  bibliography  on  the  Italian  literature 
of  criminal  law  is  published  by  Professor  von  Thot,  at  pages 
291-350  of  his  article  in  the  Gerichtssaal  (191 2).  A  special 
bibliographv  on  the  Italian  literature  on  capital  punishment, 
by  Viola,-  deserves  attention. 

The  principal  Italian  law  publishers — for  example,  the 
Societa  editrice  libraria,  of  Milano,  the  Unione  tipografico- 
editrice  torimse,  and  Hoepli — all  publish  extensive  catalogues, 
which  among  them  include  most  of  the  important  legal  litera- 
ture of  Italy. 

Special  catalogues  of  law  are  rare  in  Italy.  Pagliaini  ^ 
is  the  compiler  of  a  general  catalogue  of  Italian  literature, 
including  law,  published  during  the  years  1847  to  1899.  A 
brief  catalogue,*  by  title  only,  arranged  alphabetically,  was 
published  in  1896  by  the  Bar  Association  of  ^lilano.  It  can 
scarcelv  be  called  useful;  it  is  both  antiquated  and  incomplete.

almost  30  years  old.  This  work  is  Oppen  and  Sasse's 
Nederlandsche  rechtsliteratuur,^  in  five  volumes.  The  work 
is  carefully  divided  by  subject  matter,  with  cross-references; 
periodical  articles  are  included.  It  diflfers  from  other  bibliofi:- 
raphies  in  that  it  includes  statements  of  law,  and  may  well  be 
called  a  catalogue  raisonnee  and  digest  of  Dutch  law. 

In  1852  Presburg-  published  a  bibliography  of  Dutch  law, 
which,  naturally,  is  now  antiquated.  In  October,  1885,  a 
survey  of  Dutch  legal  literature,  published  during  the  years 
1880  to  1885,  by  Professor  II.  L.  Drucker,  of  Groeningen,  was 
printed  in  Kirchenheim's  Centralblalt  fur  Rechts^vissenschajt 
(vol.  5,  No.  I,  pp.  2-7).  In  1902  and  1904,  respectively,  Mar- 
tinus  Nijhoff  ^  published  a  useful  catalogue,  which  has  prac- 
tically the  value  of  a  bibliography.  Part  one,  published  in 
1902,  takes  up  the  legal  literature  of  Holland  previous  to  1795; 
and  part  two,  the  literature  from  1795  to  1904.  Nijhoft  has 
also  published  a  four- page  pamphlet,  giving  a  select  bibliog- 
raphy of  Dutch  law.  It  contains  the  material  useful  for  a 
knowledge  of  the  law  now  in  force  in  the  Netherlands. 

Holland  abounds  in  catalogues.  A  few  of  those  of  modern 
value  will  be  taken  up  in  clironological  order.  In  1874 
Nijhoff*  published  a  Bibliotheca  jnridica,   a  catalogue  of  all

the  hooks  published  in  Holland  on  law  and  political  science 
from  1837  to  1874.  In  1880  the  Supreme  Court  of  Holland  ^ 
published  a  catalogue  of  its  books;  a  manuscript  supplement 
brings  the  catalogue  down  to  1909.  The  resources  of  the 
University  Library  at  Amsterdam  -  were  listed  in  catalogues 
issued  at  various  times.  A  subject  bibliography,  arranged 
chronologically,  of  the  dissertations  and  academic  monographs 
published  at  the  University  of  Amsterdam^  from  1787  to  1887, 
with  a  supplement  from  1887  to  1892,  was  published  in  two 
small  pamphlets  in  1887  and  1893,  respectively.  A  catalogue 
of  all  the  theses  defended  at  the  universities  in  Holland  from 
1700  to  1898  was  published  in  1898  by  Burgersdijk  and 
Niemians  in  Leiden.  The  department  of  justice  of  Holland* 
published  a  catalogue  of  its  library  in  1891;  in  1908  a  new 
edition  was  issued,  annual  supplements  bringing  the  work 
down  to  191 1.  The  catalogue  is  carefully  divided  by  subject 
matter  and  appears  to  be  the  best  of  the  recent  Dutch  cata- 
logues; it  is  also  useful  for  work  in  comparative  law,  as  its 
resources  in  the  law  of  other  countries  are  quite  considerable.

The  Bar  Association  Library  in  Amsterdam  ^  published  a 
catalogue  of  its  books,  by  subject  matter,  in  1901,  with  a 
supplement  in  1903. 

The  libraries  of  M.  H.  Godefroi-  and  of  J.  C.  De  Konincj,"' 
both  rich  in  legal  literature,  were  donated  to  the  University 
of  Amsterdam,  which  published  a  catalogue  of  their  contents 
in  1887  and  1902  respectively.  Frederik  Midler  &  Co.*  pub- 
lished in  1905  a  catalogue  of  books  on  Roman-Dutch  and 
old  Dutch  law.  The  National  Library  at  The  Hague  ■'  pub- 
lished in  1908  a  list  of  its  reference  works;  under  the  section 
on  law  will  be  found  most  of  the  important  legal  literature  of 
Holland.  In  1910  there  was  published  a  catalogue  of  tlu- 
works  in  the  L^niversity  Library  at  Amsterdam  "  on  the  sul)- 
ject  of  notaries,  which  also  includes  practically  all  the  im])f)r- 
tant  legal  literature  of  Holland.

Hamel's  contribution  on  the  Netherlands  in  the  first  volume 
of  the  Continental  Legal  History  Series  (supra,  p.  40). 

Prof,  von  Thot's  article  in  the  Gerichtssaal,  191 2,  deals  at 
length  (pp.  173-201)  with  the  Dutch  literature  on  criminal  law. 

On  the  occasion  of  the  Publishers'  Convention  at  Amster- 
dam, in  1910,  Martinus  Nijhoff  pubhshed  a  catalogue  (191 1) 
of  all  the  books  published  in  Holland  since  the  eighteenth 
century. 

PORTUGAI^ 

There  is  a  dearth  of  bibliographic  information  on  the  legal 
literature  of  Portugal.  In  1900  Briio  Aranha^  published  a 
brief  alphabetical  catalogue  of  Portuguese  works  for  the  study 
of  the  history  and  institutions  of  Portugal;  among  others 
some  of  the  legal  works  are  listed.  There  exists  a  two-volume 
Bihliographia  juridica  portugalensis  by  Alves  De  Sd,  published 
at  Lisbon;  this  work  is  reported  by  Antonio  IMesquita  de 
Figueiredo,  of  Lisbon,  but  no  imprint  is  given,  and  the  writer 
has  been  unable  to  secure  further  information  about  it.  Senhor 
Mesquita  de  Figueiredo  ~  prepared  for  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress a  select  bibhography  of  Portuguese  law,  of  some  49 
pages,  which  is  probably  the  best  legal  bibliography  obtainable ; 
it  is  in  typewritten  form  at  the  Library  of  Congress.  The 
Portuguese  literature  on  criminal  law  is  discussed  by  Prof,  von 
Thot  at  pages  350-355  of  his  article  in  the  Gerichtssaal,  191 2. 

RUSSIA 

Russia's  legal  literature  did  not  begin  until  about  1830. 
Bibliographic  information  is  scanty;  what  we  have  we  owe 
largely  to  Professor  Engelmann,  of  Dorpat.  In  a  biblio- 
graphic article  in  Kirchenheim's  Centralhlatt  jiir  Rechtswissen- 
schaft   (vol.   5,   No.    12,  pp.   409-419),   Professor  Engelmann

RUSSIA  8 1 

undertook  to  discuss  critically  the  Russian  legal  literature 
from  1880  to  1885,  but,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  he  gives  valuable 
information  on  all  the  important  literature  published  from 
1830"  to  1885.  Professor  Engelmann  for  many  years  contrib- 
uted annual  bibliographies  of  Russian  law  books  to  the  Ccn- 
tralblatt  jiir  Rechtswissenschajt. 

In  1896  .4.  Poworiy^sky  ^  published  a  systematic  guide  to 
Russian  literature  on  the  judiciary  system  and  on  civil  and 
criminal  procedure. 

In  1909  a  catalogue  of  the  University  Library  at  St.  Peters- 
burg- was  published,  devoted  especially  to  the  resources  of 
that  library  in  legal  bibliography  and  criminal  law. 

The  Zeniralblatt  der  Rcchtswissenschaft  (supra,  p.  35),  besides 
publishing  a  Russian  edition,  reports  current  Russian  legal 
literature  and  excerpts  the  articles  in  Russian  legal  periodicals, 
with  German  translation. 

The  literature  on  Russian  criminal  law  is  reviewed  by 
Prof,  von  Thot  at  pages  381-384  of  his  article  in  the  Gericht'<- 
saal,  1912. 

The  publishing  house  of  Prawo,  of  vSt.  Petersburg,  publishes 
each  year  what  professes  to  be  a  complete  catalogue,  by  sub- 
jects, of  all  Russian  legal  publications.  It  is  probably  Ihe 
most  complete  source  of  information  on  Russian  legal  liter- 
ature taken  as  a  whole. 

An  extensive  bibliography  of  the  legal  literature  of  Poland 
published  during  the  nineteenth  and  twentieth  centuries  has 
recently  been  issued  (191 2)  by  A.  Suligowski.'

The  Polish  legal  literature  published  during  the  years  t88o 
to  1885  was  discussed  by  Prof.  Kasparek,  of  Krakau,  in 
Kirchenheim's  Centralhlatt  fiir  Rechtswissenschaft  (vol.  5,  No. 
lo-ii,  pp.  350-358)- 

A  bibliography  of  Polish  works  on  inheritance  law  which 
appeared  during  the  years  1878-1889,  was  published  in  1891.^ 

SPAIN 

Undoubtedly  the  most  useful  Spanish  legal  bibliography  is 
Torres  Campos' s  ~  two-volume  work.  Volume  one  covers  the 
legal  literature  by  subject  matter  from  1800  to  1880,  and 
volume  two  from  1881  to  1896.  This  work  is  complementary 
to  his  studies  on  Spanish  and  foreign  legal  bibliography  pub- 
lished in  1878  {supra,  p.  32). 

A  bibliograph)^  of  early  Spanish  legal  literature  is  contained 
in  the  "specimen  of  a  catalogue  of  the  books  on  foreign  law 
lately  (1847)  presented  by  Charles  Purton  Cooper  to  the 
Society  of  Lincoln's  Inn";^  the  various  works  are  provided

On  the  history  of  legal  science  in  Spain,  an  important  work 
by  Urena,  the  history  of  Spanish  legal  literature  (Historia  de 
la  literatura  juridica  espanola*)  was  published  in  1906.  It  is 
a  useful  source  book  of  early  Spanish  law  and  legal  philosophy. 
The  period  covered  ends  at  about  the  fourteenth  century.

SPAIN  83 

The  two  volumes  of  biography  of  Spanish  jurists  Juriscou- 
sultos  espanoles^  pubUshed  by  the  Real  Academia  de  Juris- 
prudencia  y  Legislacion,  have  only  a  slight  bibliographic  value. 

A  bibliography  of  important  Spanish  legal  literature,  with 
an  historical  outline  of  the  laws  of  vSpain  and  descriptive  and 
bibliographical  notes  on  the  early  codifications  and  compila- 
tions, is  contained  in  the  introduction  (102  pages)  of 
Schmidt's^  The  civil  law  of  Spain  atid  Mexico.  Altamira's 
contribution  on  Spain  to  the  first  volume  of  the  Continental 
Legal  History  Series  {supra,  p.  40)  covers  this  same  ground, 
besides  presenting  notes  on  Spanish  legal  literature  which  are 
of  value. 

Spanish  literature  for  the  period  1880  to  i88.s  is  discussed 
by  Prof.  Oloriz,  of  Valencia,  in  Kirchenheim's  Cenlralblatf 
far  Rechtswissenschaft  (vol.  5,  No.  5,  pp.  157-160).  Imprints 
are  omitted.  Annual  reports  of  the  new  works  in  Spanish 
legal  literature  have  always  been  a  feature  of  l!ie  Cenlralblatf 
fur  Rechtswissenschaft.  Miihlbrccht's  Allgemeine  Bibliographic 
der  Stoats-  und  Rechtswissenschaften  likewise  periodically  prints 
lists  of  the  new  works  on  Spanish  law. 

The  history  of  the  Spanish  literature  on  criminal  law  is  dis- 
cussed at  considerable  length  (pp.  356-377)  by  Prof,  von  Thot 
in  his  article  in  the  Gerichtssaal,  1912. 

Several  catalogues  warrant  mention.  The  catalogue  of  the 
Council  of  State  ^  was  published  in  1877;  the  catalogue  of 
the  Department  of  Justice^   was  issued    in    1885;     llio    Bar

84  RIBIJOGRAPHY 

Association  Library  of  Madrid  ^  published  the  first  volume  of 
its  catalogue  in  1889.  In  1908  the  Bar  Association  of  Bar- 
celona -  published  a  voluminous  alphabetic  subject  cata- 
logue of  its  library,  with  author  index. 

Firms  like  Victoriano  Sudrez,^  Hijos  de  Reus*  and  Gon- 
gora  '"  publish  their  catalogues  at  frequent  intervals.  The 
two  latter  firms  are  the  principal  law  publishers  of  Spain,  and 
between  them  have  brought  out  many  of  the  important  works. 

Mention  has  already  been  made  of  the  index  to  periodical 
articles  prepared  by  the  Bar  Association  of  Barcelona  in  1909. 

SWITZERL.'\MD 

Swiss  bibliographic  information  is  contained  in  many  of 
the  general  bibliographies  and  catalogues  to  which  attention 
has  already  been  called. 

Professor  Eugen  Ruber's  *^  work  on  Swiss  private  law 
gives  extensive  bibliographic  information  in  volumes  i  and  4. 
Prof.  Huber,  to  whose  brilliant  labors  the  new  Swiss  Civil 
Code  is  largely  due,  prepared  for  Nijhoff  a  select  bibliography 
of  Swiss  law,  which  the  latter  distributed  in  typewritten  form 
in  1904. 

In  1879  Aloys  OrelW^  published  a  monograph  on  the 
legal  literature  of  Switzerland.     The  Zeitschrift  filr  schweizeri-

TURKEV  85 

sches  Rccht,  founded  in  1852,  has,  since  1882  (when  the  litera- 
ture of  the  years  1 874-1 881  was  reviewed),  included  an 
annual  bibliography  of  Swiss  law.  Numerous  articles  on 
the  sources  of  law  in  the  various  cantons,  which  have  from 
time  to  time  appeared  in  this  periodical,  are  useful  also  for 
bibliographical  purposes,  in  particular  for  legal  history. 

A  bibliography  of  Swiss  periodicals,  including  law,  by 
Brandstetter  ^  appeared  in  1896.  He  also  published  -  in  1892, 
an  index  to  articles  in  periodicals  and  collections,  181 2-1890, 
continued  1891-1900  by  Barth  ;  section  7  of  this  index  is 
devoted  to  Verfassungs-  and  Rechtsgeschichte. 

Two  important  catalogues  may  be  mentioned.  The  niosi 
valuable,  perhaps,  is  that  of  the  Library  of  the  Federal 
supreme  court  at  Lausanne,''  which  was  published  in  1898, 
with  a  supplement  in  1903.  The  catalogue  of  the  National 
Librarv ''  in  its  section  on  law  includes  practically  all  the 
important  Swiss  legal  literature.

86  BIBLIOGRAPHY 

the  important  legal  literature  of  Turkey  is  included  in  that 
list. 

The  Nouvclle  revue  historique  de  droit  frangais  in  its  annual 
Bulletin  bihliographique  lists  the  new  works  in  Turkish  legal 
literature.  Prof,  von  Thot's  article  in  the  Gerichtssaal  (191 2) 
discusses  briefly  (pp.  386-387)  the  Turkish  literature  on 
criminal  law. 

With  this  we  conclude  our  account  of  the  formal  printed  liter- 
ature on  the  bibliography  of  international  and  of  continental 
law.  It  does  not  profess  to  be  absolutely  complete,  but  it 
is  hoped  that  nothing  important  has  been  omitted. 

Before  leaving  the  subject  attention  may  be  called  to  the 
select  manuscript  bibliographies  of  foreign  law  which  have 
been  prepared  upon  the  request  of  the  Library  of  Congress 
by  eminent  scholars  and  jurists  in  every  countr\'.  These 
bibliographies  have  been  of  invaluable  assistance  in  bringing 
to  the  Library  of  Congress  the  best  legal  literature  of  the 
civilized  States  of  the  world.
